So the Bazemore team chooses to run in front of Tony Pedregon. Bazemore is 5-0 against Lee. This is the 24th
time that Bazemore has qualified number one.

What an upset! Down goes the points leader, and Team CSK goes 3-0 in
round one. Bazemore was way out in front at half track, but he started hazing the tires and Lee drove around him.
Lee will face his teammate Burkart in round two, Burkart with lane choice.

This will be the sixth time these two have raced. Lawson has one win against Force, and it was at this track in
June. This is Lawson's 18th career start. By the way, 17 of Force's 108 wins have come from the number two
spot.

Force gets the win, but everyone was watching Lawson. The car shook, he pedaled it, and when he got back in
it, the car went airborne and when it came back down he crossed into Force's lane and took out the 1/8 mile mph
cone.

The winner here will be the only non-Team CSK car on the top half of the ladder in the next round. This is
Scelzi's 350th round of competition in the fuel classes. Cruz has qualified 13th six times now, and has just one
round win from that spot.

Great race here, as Scelzi runs the fastest mph in Funny Car history. Cruz with a career
best pass, but it's not enough. Scelzi will have lane choice over Worsham in round two.
